Amitabh Bachchan shares a candid anecdote from Deewar

While talking about his personal story on the set of Yash Chopra’s Deewar, the KBC host said, “I remember a scene from my film Deewar, where I had to fight with some goons and after the fight , I have to open the door and get out of the den. Now the action scene was shot elsewhere and the desolation scene was elsewhere. The last part of the scene was shot a few days later on the Mumbai docks. When we came back to that scene, I wanted to make it feel authentic. Because the scene required me to fight goons, I had to look tired in the climactic scene. So, before they started filming, I got ready and told them to wait. I ran around the area 10 times, just to look tired and make it believable. An actor fully immerses himself in his character.”
